Additional Information
Introduction
Denmark’s three major government powers reside in this Copenhagen palace. Up until 1794, it was the resident of the country’s monarchs. Though many different structures have sat on this one site, the complex has remnants of its long history scattered throughout it dating as far back as more than 800 years. On a guided tour, see the Royal Reception Area, the Great Hall and Queen’s Tapestries, the parliament, Theatre Museum, and even the subterranean ruins of Bishop Absalon's castle from 1167.

Located on the small island of Slotsholmen, this beautiful palace accommodates the Danish Parliament, the Supreme Court and the Ministry of State. It is an impressive structure!
If you are a fan of the Danish political drama Borgen then this place is probably at the top of your list. The building itself is very impressive and the parade grounds on the southern edge are a great place to wander and get some photos. There are free tours run of the Parliament (check online for details) and they are first come first served so it is good to book in advance. The tours are excellent, run by knowledgeable and entertaining guides. If you are lucky then you may get introduced to some of the politicians wandering the corridors as we did.
The Christiansborg Palace is the seat of government for Denmark. There's a statue of Christian IX in the courtyard, which lets out onto the Marble Bridge.
One of my favourite places in Copenhagen! For about USD20, I toured the palace ground on my own. Felt like I stepped into a Disney movie. Ha! Rich in colour & history. Ballrooms to personal libraries to throne rooms to dinner halls to tapestry & china. Tour of the royal stables included! all the carriages, brilliant! definitely recommend a visit to Christiansborg.
Beautiful palace that was was burnt down several times before the current version of the palace was built by King Frederik VIII in 1907. Enter from the Marmorbroen (Marble Bridge) for a breath-taking site directly into the rear courtyard.
